Nov 25, 2025; Las Vegas, NV, USA; Michigan Wolverines head coach Dusty May reacts after a 2025 Players Era Festival group play game against the Auburn Tigers at Michelob ULTRA Arena. Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-Imagn Images Five players scored in double figures Sunday and No. 2 Michigan cruised to its 11th straight win to start the season, routing visiting La Salle 102-50 in Ann Arbor.
Freshman Trey McKinney came off the bench to score a game-high 17 points, canning three of the Wolverines’ 14 3-pointers. Aday Mara had 14 points and 10 rebounds and Eliot Cadeau also had 14 points, while L.J. Cason tallied 13 points and Morez Johnson Jr. contributed 10 points.
Michigan, which hasn’t been pushed in most of its games, simply buried the Explorers with its variety of strengths. It converted 54.8 % of its field goal attempts, including 14 of 29 3-pointers, and drew 25 assists on 34 made buckets.
Defensively, the Wolverines guarded a guardable team well, limiting La Salla (4-9) to 17 of 61 shooting (27.9%) from the field and 2 of 21 from the 3-point line. They also forced 19 turnovers that they cashed in for 28 points.
Jaeden Marshall led the Explorers with 15 points, going 10 of 11 at the foul line. La Salle did manage to outrebound Michigan 19-13 in the first half, although the Wolverines ended the day with a 40-35 advantage.
The storyline coming into the game was if Michigan would overlook a lightly-regarded Atlantic 10 opponent in its final contest before Christmas. After a relatively slow start that saw it trail 10-9 just over five minutes into the game, the Wolverines completely dominated the game’s remainder.
Beginning with Cason’s 3-pointer at the 14:07 mark, Michigan rattled off 11 straight points and never looked back. The margin stayed in double figures for the last 31:49, climbing to 54-33 at the half when Roddy Gayle Jr. made a foul shot with two seconds left.
The Wolverines’ depth and clear physical advantages made the second half even longer for La Salle. The margin increased as high as 56 points when Howard Eisley Jr. drilled a 3-pointer with 1:28 left for a 102-46 advantage.
It marked the sixth time in 11 games that Michigan scored at least 100 points.

Bill Simmons’ comment sparks new Swift-Kelce rumors
Veteran sports media personality Bill Simmons inadvertently sent social media into a frenzy over Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce on Sunday night when a throwaway comment in a podcast rant was interpreted as hinting at a pregnancy.On his Bill Simmons Podcast, the longtime analyst was offering an impassioned defense of Kelce as the Kansas City Chiefs' late-season slide continued after their loss to the Tennessee Titans.He said he "felt bad for Kelce," who he felt has to deal with protecting himself as he considers his future beyond the NFL.

Sophie Cunningham’s unexpected answer to OnlyFans question
Sophie Cunningham, the outspoken guard for the Indiana Fever and one of the most visible voices in women's basketball today, found herself trending online after an off-beat exchange about OnlyFans during a recent interview.The moment, which quickly spread across social platforms, offered an unfiltered glimpse into the way elite athletes today navigate career uncertainty, financial limitations in the WNBA, and the broader pressures of building a personal brand.On a December 21 episode of Sundae Conversations with interviewer Caleb Pressley, Cunningham fielded a provocative question that strayed far from typical basketball talk.Pressley, known for his irreverent style, asked Cunningham whether she thought she could "just make money on OnlyFans" instead of relying on league platforms to cultivate her audience.Cunningham, clearly amused and unfazed, quickly delivered a clear response: "No, I think you do need the leagues.

Michael Irvin slams DK Metcalf for hitting a fan: “I don’t care what he said”
The incident involving DK Metcalf this Sunday during the game against the Detroit Lions continues to spark debate. Former Dallas Cowboys star Michael Irvin has now weighed in on the Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver's conduct-and his remarks were far from forgiving. Footage of Metcalf approaching the stands at Ford Field, arguing with a fan, grabbing him by the neck, and then throwing a punch has gone viral. A source close to Metcalf told NFL Network's Tom Pelissero that the fan, identified as Ryan Kennedy, directed a racial slur at the player and insulted his mother. Videos recorded by spectators appear to contradict the Steelers star's version of events. Regardless of the circumstances, Irvin sharply criticized Metcalf's actions.Irvin blasts Metcalf for confronting a fanSpeaking on his podcast Come and Talk 2 Me, Irvin noted that players hear all kinds of things […]
Vladař vychytal Philadelphii výhru nad Vancouverem
Vladař dlouho držel naději na první čisté konto v ročníku. Připravil ho o něj až v 54. minutě Max Sasson, když vyšel úspěšně ze souboje jeden na jednoho a střelou mezi nohy snížil na 1:3.Domácí Philadelphii poslal do vedení v 34. minutě Nikita Grebjonkin. Vítězství si pak hokejisté Flyers zajistili kanonádou v poslední dvacetiminutovce, kdy se radovali ze čtyř gólů.Úspěšní v zakončení byli Carl Grundström, Christian Dvorak, Owen Tippett a do prázdné branky přesně mířící ruský mladík Matvej Mičkov. Sedmnáct sekund před koncem zmírnil porážku Canucks ještě Drew O'Connor.Za kanadský celek nastoupili obránce Filip Hronek i útočník David Kämpf. Hronek strávil na ledě nejvíce času z týmu, přes 22 minut. Na Vladaře vystřelil dvakrát, ve statistice plus/minus měl čtyři záporné body. Kämpf byl u jednoho obdrženého gólu.Flyers bodovali v sedmi z posledních osmi zápasů a ve Východní konferenci jsou třetí. Stejný počet 43 bodů mají i Washington, Tampa Bay a Montreal. Canucks neuspěli po čtyřech výhrách.Tampa Bay šla do vedení […]
